Here's a quick farm update ~ the fencing is up and the first sibes have moved into the house. We are still working on the kennels, but we hope to be done soon so we can welcome even more pups to the farm!

Catching Up...

Hey Kids ~Sorry that I haven't posted in a bit. Mum said I had been working too hard and needed a vacation. It was a huge sacrifice, but I didn't think I should argue. As you can see from my photo, I had no choice but to hold down the seat in the boat as we zoomed around the lake. No need to worry ~ I had my lifejacket on...

Anyway, I'll try my best to get you caught up on the latest happenings in MaPaw ~

Drum Roll Please...

Are you ready for the big news??? Well ~ here it is...

You are looking at the future home of MaPaw SHR!! Yes - you read that right!

Douglass Township has accepted our bid on this wonderful 12+ acre farm and now the fun begins! We've got kennels to build, fences to put up and lots of things to be done before our first guests arrive.

We are so grateful to Doug for his generosity and we know that both he and Siren are smiling down on us for making their dreams a reality.

MaPaw Welcomes Chief into Our Hospice Program

Chi (Chee) is a sixteen-year-old Siberian that was turned into a crowded shelter after a lifetime of companionship and devotion. His eyes had no hope; he was filthy, matted and unable to walk from neglect. Chi had been tossed away by those who should have loved him.

Chi was welcomed in with open arms and tears in our eyes. He was placed into our Husky Hospice Program and we promised him that he would be loved and cared for. He was given a nice comfy bed, good nutritional food, supplements and plenty of TLC. His coat was matted so badly with parasites and dried urine that much of it had to be shaved away in sections. A sling was used to help him walk.

Chi is slowly improving. He now walks unassisted and isn't shy about coming up and nuzzling for some attention. He is still extremely underweight, but the shine has returned to his eyes. Chi knows he is loved.

Our foster mom named him "Chi", the term for universal energy or the energy that permeates everything around us. It fits him well.

Please check back for updates on Chi. He will remain with us for as long as he has quality life and will be pampered, loved and spoiled. Our Husky Hospice is a quiet side of our rescue dedicated to caring for the Siberians that cannot be adopted.

If you would like to make a donation toward Chief's care, please do so via the Google Donate button located below Chief's photo. We greatly appreciate your support!

Thank You Dieruff High School!!

On Tuesday, May 4th some of MaPaw's representatives (along with their human companions) made a special visit to Dieruff High School in Allentown, PA.

Dieruff's mascot is a Husky named Kiska. Over the years, the kids of Dieruff have done many different activities to raise money for MaPaw. This year, the kids organized a bake sale and they asked that we bring some of our furry friends to the school. Of course we said YES ~ we couldn't wait to see the kids!!!

RJ, Kito, Mya, Papillon and Murphy were wonderful ambassadors for MaPaw. They really enjoyed visiting with the kids and all of the attention they received ~ RJ may have gotten a little too excited (he had an accident...).

We are so grateful to Dieruff for their hard work and their support of MaPaw.

Here are some photos of our visit ~ look at all those happy faces (both human and canine)...

In Loving Memory ~ Kathy "Mom" Fry

To our Friend and Loved One ~ You will be missed so very muchYou gave Comfort and Happiness to the Dogs and to Us ~ You were "Mom"You are at Peace now, God Bless ~ The World is a Sadder Place without you.

Not An Angel

The young pup and the older dog lay on the shaded sweet grass watching life reunions. Sometimes a man, sometimes a woman, sometimes a whole family would approach the Rainbow Bridge, be greeted by their loving pets, and cross the bridge together.

The young pup playfully nipped at the older dog, "Look! Something wonderful is happening!" The older dog stood up and barked excitedly, "Quickly, Get over to the path." "That's not my owner," whined the pup, but did as he was told.

Thousands of pets surged forward as a figure in white walked on the path toward the bridge. As the glowing figure passed, each animal bowed its head in love and respect. The figure finally approached the bridge and was met by a menagerie of joyous animals. Together, they all walked over the bridge and disappeared.

The young pup was in awe. "Was that an angel?" he whispered. "No," said the older dog, "that person worked rescue."

Ebay Auction Now in Progress!!!

MaPaw is auctioning some items on Ebay to help us raise some much needed funds. In the past few months, we have had the pleasure of helping out some really great dogs. Unfortunately, that means we have some pretty extensive medical bills...

Some of the items being auctioned ~ a beautiful hand-crafted quilt (pictured above), a baseball bat and ball autographed by Pete Rose and more...

Say Hello to MaPaw's Newest Gals (that's right ~ GIRLS!!!)

I am very excited to introduce you to MaPaw's newest members. The best part....THEY ARE BOTH GIRLS!!!

I don't know if you have checked out MaPaw's site lately, but there are a lot of boy faces on our Available Dogs page. But now we have 2 new beauties...

Meet Mya ~

Mya is on the petite side, but don't let her size fool you! She is full of energy and is always looking for a good game of chase with her Husky friends. She came to MaPaw when her owner could no longer care for her. She is settling into her foster home and is learning her manners from the other pups in her foster home. This little lady is busy making friends with everyone she meets!

Two days later, Miss Daisha joined her MaPaw foster home.

She somehow found herself at a local shelter and when they asked MaPaw for assistance, we were glad to be able to help. This little lady is a love bug and can't wait to give sweet Husky kisses to everyone she meets!

Welcome Mya and Daisha!

Since both these gals just joined MaPaw, they are not yet on the site. But they will be soon...
